Yankophile

Somebody who dresses, speaks, walks and generally behaves like they hail from the US of A when in reality they live with their Mum in a bungalow in Chipping Norton. They bounce when they walk, high five at every available opportunity, talk really loudly and listen to RnB or gangster rap. Some Yankophiles also have a habit of hitching one trouser leg up to their knee. They are hated by everybody apart from the other inbred, binge eating, gangster wannabe miscreants they hang around with.
A: "Did Clive have Polio when he was a kid? He seems to be limping."
B: "No, he's a Yankophile"
A: "Has he lost a lot of weight? That vest top looks like a nightie"
B: "No, he's a Yankophile"
A: "I can't understand a word he's saying. He seems to be talking in some sort of ghetto speak and his fingers look all contorted like he has spina bifida"
B: "Don't worry! He's just pretending to be something he's not in a misguided attempt to gain some sort of respect from his peers. He lives with his Mum in a sleepy Cotswold town and isn't any more gangster that my Nan. Fucking useless, drawling Yankophile."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
